Babbs Green, Hertfordshire, former church. © Bill McKenzie. Janet Gimber advises that this was Wesleyan Methodist.
Babcary, Somerset, Holy Cross, on Church Street. Its grade II* listing advises of a Saxon foundation. ST 5614 2878. A number of churchyard monuments have separate listings - they can be found here. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Main Street pre-dates a map of 1886, and it went out of use in 1965 or soon after (source). The same source also suggests that the part of the chapel furthest from the camera in Chris's photo may be of a chapel noted in 1811, with the rest of it from a later enlargement. ST 5636 2870.

Badcaul, Highland. Howard Richter advises of 2 churches hereabouts. The Church of Scotland is active, and stands at NH 0190 9194. A study of old maps shows that it was a United Free Church in 1906. It can be see here on Streetview in 2010, with an old whitewashed schoolroom to the left, and to its right the church, and the manse with purple woodwork beyond. There is also a former Free Church - a tin tabernacle - at NH 0185 9200. Shown on Streetview here, in 2010. Some interior photos are available here.

A plaque implies that the church was at one time dedicated to St. James - this is confirmed by old maps, e.g. the 6" O.S. map of 1906. © Dennis Harper (2015). Grade II* listed.

Baddiley, Cheshire, St. Michael. An unusual building, Chris explains:- "As is quite usual, the responsibility for repair of the chancel and nave are quite separate, though not always as visually striking as this. (Background: The rector was responsible for the chancel, and the parish for the nave. Sometimes for historical reasons a particular house in a village inherits the responsibility for repair of the chancel. A recent case in the papers (Aston Cantlow v Warwick) concerned a house-owner who found herself landed with a hefty bill for repair of the chancel. Baddiley church is no different from other churches concerning respective responsibilities". See also the Hinderwell, North Yorkshire entry. The chancel is timber-framed. Normally closed, but open on Saturdays from April onwards. SJ 6051 5035. Both © Chris Emms (2010). Two additional views - 1, 2, both © Karel Kuča (2019). Link. Grade I listed.

Bagby, North Yorkshire, St. Mary. Interior view. Its grade II listing dates it to 1862, and the design (which, to say the least, is unusual) is by E.B. Lamb. SE 4634 8063. Both © Kenneth Paver. Two additional views - 1, 2, another interior, the altar and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). Link. The 25" O.S. map of 1912 marks a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at SE 4657 8057. It pre-dates a map of 1856, and appears to have still been active in 1956 when a map of that vintage labels it as Chap., at which time it was presumably Methodist. Seen here by the Streetview van in 2011, it's now called The Old Chapel, and presumably in residential use.

Baguley, Wythenshawe, Manchester, Greater Manchester - see Wythenshawe.
Bagworth, Leicestershire, the site of Holy Rood. The original medieval church was demolished in 1968 because of subsidence associated with coal mining. It was replaced by a concrete building, but also incorporating some of the old fabric. This too has since been demolished, and the churchyard still has some surviving walls. The photo shows what seems to be a Norman arch encased in the later concrete. © David Regan (2017). Link, which has illustrations and photos of both churches.

The Methodist Church on Dead Lane. SE 9639 5241. © James Murray. A former Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on West End (this was previously also part of Dead Lane, before it was bisected by the A614. It can be seen on a 2010 Streetview here. Its My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1837. SE 9631 5241. Old maps show that the village also had a Wesleyan Chapel, at SE 9631 5234. It pre-dates the 25" O.S. map of 1910, and was probably demolished to allow for the building of the Back Street access road, off the A614. It stood about where the road starts to curve to the right in this Streetview.

Baldersdale, Co. Durham, Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, dating from 1861. NY 9487 1942. © Steve Bruce. A map of 1893 shows a Chapel of Ease & School at NY 9465 1930. By the time of a 1912 map, it had become just School. It was a "Field Centre" in 2012, used by a Middlesbrough school (source). Exactly which of the group of buildings was the chapel is not apparent from the map, so here are two 2009 Streetviews - 1, 2.

Another Chapel is shown on Town Street, east of St. Giles. It stands at SK 8211 5159, and now serves as the library. It can be seen on a 2009 Streetview here. I haven't been able to confirm the denomination.

Bawdsey, Suffolk, former chapel, now in secular use. This may have been the Wesleyan Chapel as mentioned on Genuki. © Iris Maeers. Howard Richter has confirmed that this was indeed the Wesleyan chapel, and further advises that it was founded (per Genuki) in 1886. It shows on the 1904 OS map at TM 346 405. It was preceded by an earlier Wesleyan nearby at TM 3466 4022. The earliest OS map is of 1881, and this chapel is shown on it. Probably it is the one mentioned in Lewis' 1831 Topographical Dictionary, but when it was founded is presently not known. This older chapel stood quite close to the present parish church, St. Mary (link, with photos). Howard quotes the grade II listing which says that the church was C14, but mostly re-built after 1842, when a fire started by a firework let off during a 5 November display launched from the church tower severely damaged the building.

Another interior view (taken through a window), © Richard Roberts (2018). Another view, two more of the interior - 1, 2, and the defaced screen, all © Chris Stafford (2014). Link. Grade I listed. A United Free Methodist Chapel once stood on Chapel Lane (previously Gouch Lane), at TF 9082 1584. Pre-dating a map of 1906, its Genuki entry says it was "founded before 1886". It still shows on a map of 1955, but when it was closed is so far unknown. Its site was well hidden by vegetation when the Streetview van went by in 2008, but it was here, somewhere behind the trees on the right. Genuki also lists another chapel, a Wesleyan Reform Chapel, at TF 9103 1595, and it also provides dates of 1817 to "before 1906". Looking at a 25" map of 1906 this grid reference looks an unlikely place to have had a chapel, which, even if had been demolished at this time, should surely have had a road or path leading to its site, but it appears not to have.

Birks, Cumbria. Two further views - 1, 2. This used to be a famous Sandemanian/Inghamite Chapel (there are transcribed records for 1754-1807). Subsequently Independent, it continued in use until 1836, but was described as "ruinous" in an 1851 directory. The recorded dates for the two sects overlap, so they may have shared the building, or the Independents may have had another building or room nearby, and later moved into the former Sandemanian chapel. Kevin Price, who has visited the building, says it is now used as a barn, and looking through a crack in the door, saw evidence of where the pulpit once was. He also advises that the font was eventually transferred to Kendal Inghamite Chapel in 1938. This short history composed from the researches of Howard Richter and Kevin Price. NY 719 151.

The Methodist Church (2024 Streetview) is on Fore Street at SX 9086 7382. Its webpage is no longer maintained, so it may have recently closed. Google Streetmap shows an entry for Immanuel Evangelical Chapel (2024 Streetview) at 33A Fore Street, and also says that it is "temporarily closed". A map of 1890 shows a Meeting Room (Plymouth Brethren) off the south side of Fore Street at SX 9091 7377. The building has been demolished - its site lies behind the houses seen in a Streetview from 2024. The same map also shows a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel further east along Fore Street, at SX 9105 7375. Its site, now home to a public loo (quite a rarity these days) was seen by Streetview in 2024. A little way to the N.E. of the town are the remains of St. John's Chapel.
